Living forever
Living Forever by lcl
What happened to Adam and Eve after they ate the apples in the Garden of Eden? They had to be removed to prevent their ever eating of the Tree of Life which would have kept their physical bodies young. Then they eventually grew old and died after about a 1000 years, which is 1 day in God’s timetable.
Gen 3:22 And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man has become as one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever,
Gen 3:23 therefore Jehovah God sent him out from the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he had been taken.
Gen 3:24 And He drove out the man. And He placed cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
The tree fruit had been described earlier as one to be freely eaten. This would have kept them young and free of sickness.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground Jehovah God caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food. The tree of life also was in the middle of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 2:16 And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, You may freely eat of every tree in the garden,
Gen 2:17 but you shall not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
Christ as the perfect son of God was described as one like a tree that bringsforth good fruit in its seasons. The leaves do not wither or get old just as those who eat the leaves do not get old or sick. We are also called to be Christ -like and bring words of life to those sick and dying without Christ. We also are to produce the good fruits of saved souls by the power ofGod.
Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful.
Psa 1:2 But his delight is only in the Law of Jehovah; and in His Law he meditates day and night.
Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of water that brings forth its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf shall not wither, and all which he does shall be blessed.
Christ brough forth the good fruit of eternal life to be enjoyed by those who wished to be with Him.
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
Ultimately, Christ and the Father are the source of an eternal crystal stream of water of life (the Holy Spirit) such as Jesus described to the woman at the well. They grow the tree of life and its fruits of life that heals the nations from aging and sickness.
Rev 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of its street, and of the river, from here and from there, was the Tree of Life, which bore twelve fruits, each yielding its fruit according to one month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3 And every curse will no longer be; but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve Him.
So to sum up: God breaths new life into a once dead physical body. It becomes an improved spiritual/physical body and God provides fruit to be eaten monthly that will renew Spiritual/physical life and prevent aging and sickness. The end result is that this is as it was intended in the original garden, only better. The body and the world are both better and we call this place Heaven. Does anybody still believe that God is not a great recycler?
